Barry Foley verbrachte seine Kindheit in den Blue Ridge Mountains von Virginia, wo die Bluegrass und Gospelmusik das Leben der Menschen prägte. Barry Foley begeisterte im Alter von 10 Jahren seine kleine Kirchengemeinde mit Gospel-Liedern, die er auf dem Klavier spielte.

Sein aktuelles Album umfasst jetzt zwölf Songs, die die Geschichte seines Lebens erzählt. „Leaving Texas" erzählt die Geschichte, als er sich aufmachte neue Entdeckungen zu machen. „Daddy Was A Factory Man", handelt über seinen Vater und dessen Arbeit. „Daddy Won’t You Buy Me A Guitar" beschreibt den Wunsch von Barry P. Foley eine Gitarre von seinem Vater zu erhalten. Das Album ist traditioneller Machart. Kein Country Pop, sondern ehrliche Musik. Als Special Gast findet sich dann noch Mandy Strobel mit auf dem Album bei dem Song „NAFTA Blues".
